I ran across this amazing description of Jesus spoken by Mark Driscoll on a blog berating him for wearing a t-shirt with our Savior depicted as a hip hop DJ at the turntables. This blog ran the man down because his shirt was irreverant and disrespectful. Can they not look past the garment and see Mark's heart. He is passionate about Jesus. The same blog complained because Mark talks about sexual sin on occasion. They chastised him for suggesting that Jesus was tempted by women. Do they not know the Scriptures?
Hebrews 4:15-16 says, "...we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." (NIV)
Jesus was tempted in every way. He was tempted but he did not sin. That is why he can sympathize with us in our struggles with sin. It is why he is the most wonderful savior.
Thanks Mark for this word of sound theology. I may not agree with you on everything, but on these matters we're more than okay.
